Looking for Diversity: HBCUs

Hey everyone, I'm trying to diversify my college list with some HBCUs but I'm having a bit of trouble. Does anyone know which HBCUs have strong STEM programs?

Sure, that's a great approach! HBCUs known for notable STEM programs include:

1. Morehouse College: The only all-male HBCU, Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, is known for its significant contributions to science and engineering. It is a leading producer of Black men who go on to earn doctoral degrees in these subjects.

2. Spelman College: This women's college located in Atlanta, Georgia, offers an impressive array of STEM programs. Spelman has an especially powerful impact on Black women pursuing STEM fields.

3. Tuskegee University: Located in Tuskegee, Alabama, offers high-quality STEM programs. Tuskegee's School of Engineering is particularly strong. They have produced many Black Engineers over the years.

4. North Carolina A&T State University: NCAT has one of the nation's most substantial engineering schools among HBCUs. It offers disciplines ranging from mechanical to chemical engineering.

5. Howard University: Located in Washington, D.C., Howard is the foremost HBCU for producing Black Ph.D. candidates in the natural sciences, including mathematics and physics.

6. Florida A&M University: FAMU's College of Engineering, a joint institution with Florida State University, ranks within the thirty percent of all engineering degree programs across the nation. They recently also invested $70 million in a new research center focusing on complex materials and nanotechnology.

7. Hampton University: This Virginia-based HBCU has a strong school of Science with numerous undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral degrees in options like biological sciences, chemistry, and physics.

Remember, each of these universities has its own unique culture and environment, so be sure to get a feel for which one is the right fit for you. Visiting the campus (if possible), researching their programs, and reaching out to current students or alumni could provide some valuable insight. Happy college hunting!
